Case Study: Mittera strengthens security and supports rapid growth with Heartland Business Systems vCISO services

MITTERA scales to 2,000+ employees with Heartland Business Systems vCISO

Mittera, a major integrated marketing firm, faced the challenge of scaling its data security and compliance programs to support rapid growth through multiple acquisitions. Needing to protect sensitive customer information and respond to increasing security demands from clients, they sought an alternative to building a costly in-house cybersecurity team. They partnered with Heartland Business Systems for its virtual CISO (vCISO) service.

Heartland Business Systems provided a long-term vCISO who guided Mittera's security strategy, achieving SOC 2® compliance for new locations and streamlining the integration of acquired companies. The solution included managing all client security questionnaires and creating a "Commitment to Information Security" document that became a valuable sales tool. This partnership resulted in significant cost savings, enhanced credibility with customers, and a more secure and efficient acquisition process for Mittera.
